@ Burneside 1. Not questioning the result of the referendum. Questioning the consequence of the result.. Two entirely different things. 2. Suggest you contact T.May then and tell her to stop the stockpiling and preparations for No Deal. "No deal, if it happens, will be a process – not an event – managed by the EU to their negotiating advantage, just as the article 50 talks have been ...
Breaking from Sky News: The European Commission has proposed that trucks from the UK will be "temporarily allowed" to carry goods into the EU until the end of 2019 under a 'no-deal' Brexit provided that the UK offers equivalent rights to the EU https://twitter.com/SkyNewsBreak/status/1075360562933088256 You can stop the stockpiling, Lynne, by the end of 2019 another "temporary" fix ...
